Purchased two cars from W.R. Phillips now and both times I have received great service from the whole team. They make you feel welcomed and genuinely interested.
Have also had my vehicle serviced at W.R. Phillips and that was a smooth painless experience. Friendly staff who walked me through the process, gave me the option of a courtesy car of they could drop me off and pick me up. My car came back washed and vacuumed to which I was pleasantly surprised about and perfect timing for the weekend ahead.
Definitely recommend W.R. Phillips for a purchase of a new or used can and servicing of your vehicle.

Amazing company to deal with! I have brought two vehicles from W.R. Phillips now and both times I received VIP treatment from all staff.
Staff are friendly and genuinely interested in what my need were in a vehicle. They were focused on getting me into a vehicle that suited me more than just selling a car.
I had both of these vehicles serviced at W.R. Phillips too and the service was great. I was walked through the process in depth, offered a courtesy car or drop odd and pick up service.
When I came to pick up my car I was walked though the service efficiently. My car even came back washed and vacuumed!!
Definitely recommend W.R. Phillips for purchasing and servicing a vehicle.
